ANNAPOLIS has never had boom
and never will have one with the
enormous tax rate that our city ia
theirs and country cousins pile
up on us year after year We must
get rid of our country cousins be-
fore we can have boom. 1t is
shamefully unjust to make us pay
three Gfths of the $500 expend-
ed (?) every year upon county roads
that are little or no use to us, as but
few of them bring trade to our city.
There is reform needed in this par
ticular, and we hope our city faith
ers will look to it. If the county
spends $23, 900 year for roads, we
arc entitled to more than 81, 200 to
fix our streets. We are entitled to
many thousands, and our corporate
authorities should make the demand
and enforce it.
We have been a slow people. Let
us move faster than we have been
going, but let us not go so fast that
our footing will be unsafe. Our
taxes must be equalized and reduc-
ed. Then we may induce men with
capital to come here and make this
their home; to join with as in build
ing up and making attractive the
city: to invest in manufacturing
and productive enterprises, and de-
velope and utilize the resources now
lying idle; to give value to the soil
by making it most useful to man
to enjoy our salubrious climate and
beautiful scenery, and pull with us
in making Annapolis and Anne
Arundel great and glorious. Let
us have a boom which means all
progress, and will not be followed
by depression, by a stampede, by
disaster, and by the terrible reckon
ing which is in store for every boom
ing town whose boom has no better
foundation than the recklessness
and madness of men. With low
taxes safe boom can be started,
With low taxes the waste places in
our city will be built up and our
taxable basis so enlarged that the
rate need not exceed 30 or 40 cents
in the 500. We have a new local
board and will soon have a new
county board. These should meet
in spirit of fairness, and devise
the means of relief our city so much
needs.

Instantaneous Love-Stroke.

The Boston Budget tells a, story O
love making by the instantaneous pro
cess, that happened in the Club" il
the year 1888. One summer mornin,
a young Clergyman of fine appearance
was sitting in q BARRIERS saloon neal
the head Of Hanover street, whe1
he espied the figure and face Of {
young lady before the window as sht
was in the act OF looking at some ar
ticIes of display. Instantly he re
marked. Please hurry up, {,
wish to speak to that youn,
lady" He seized his white cravat
and throwing it about his necl
sprang from the chair and. grabbin,
his hat, without stopping for his over
coat. rushed out of the door, to tn,
great astonishmsnt of the atonsoria
artist By this time the young lad,
had nearly reached Elm street, whery
she halted a moment to look at an
other window, when she was accostee
by he tall young minister. His pre-
possessing appearance evidently inter
ested her, although both parties wer
total strangers. and they walked slowl.

The Arab Mare.

She was the most beautiful mare
had ever seen, of pure Maid blood
gray, with hea-bitten spots, eyes too
large for her head, nostril thin and ex-
panded, the throat OF a game cock,
the hair,of her main and tail so fine
and soft that the most beautiful wom-
an maght have been proud OF such
texture, and her skin so thin and soft
that the thorn bushes through which
I rode her used to tear it; and after
many OF my runs through The jungle
have had her, bleeding from the
thorns, looking as if she had been
practiced upon with a light sabre.
She was what you would consider in
England a pony, II hands i 1-2 inches
high; but she was as broad almost as
6 dray horse, and her tail was set mp
SO high that as she moved about her
loose-box you could, STOPPING, walk
between it and the ground Her feet
were black and hard, and the tendons
below her hooks and knees we're like
harp strings. Add to this that her
head was SO lean that you might have
boiled it without obtaining any flesh
from it, and you have picture Of
what this desert-born mare Was

What Makes a Soldier.

The first duty of soldier is not
courage, but obedience. Battles are
wonnot by hard fighting merely, but
by fighting under orders. When the
confederate army was organized it was
composed largely Of southern gentle
men, courageous, and in their way,
patriotic, but without the first idea of
military discipline. A southern au-
thor declares: ''They were as ignorant
OF the alphabet OF obedience as their
officers We're Of the art of fcommanding.
ri remember very WE'LL he says.
''the extreme GOODNESS with which, in
one OF the valley skirmishes, a fewdays
before'the battle Of Bull Run, agentle-
man private in my own company rode
out OF the ranks for the purpose of
suggesting to Gen. j. e. B. Stuart the
propriety of charging gun which was
Smelling us, and which seemed nearer
to us than tolts supporting infantry.
tI heard another gentleman without
rank, who had brought dispatch to
Stonewau Jackson, request that Off
Ger to cut the answer short on the
ground that his horse was q little
lame, and he feared his inability to de-
Liver it as promptly as it was desira-
ble. These men and their comrades
lost none OF this. personal solicitude
for the proper conduct of the gar, in
process OF becoming soldiers, but they
learned not to question or advise,
when their duty was to listen aud
obey.
s'Their very errors" as Gen. Stuart
once said in my hearing. proved them
the best of material out of which to
make soldiers. They are pretty good
officers now, he said, and after awhile
they will make excellent soldiers, too.
They only need red uciug to the ranks. y

How Bailey's Boys Celebrated.

It is a great day in Utica when a
newspaper man is appointed to a fed

in the Observer Office when E. Prem

says: GAS nothing like it was ever at

came Bailey was in Buffalo. The at
taches Of the paper, temporarily in
charge, felt good-so good that they
determined to celebrate the event in
an extra Getting out an array Of
flags, cannon and champaign rost-
ers, they filled two columns with ex-
uberance in the most approved
typographical, oh-be-ioyful style.
One of the headlines read: Heard

Another agonizing thought was ex-
pressed in the line: "Will Our Sal

brandishing a drawn sword was

One scare head contained this assur-

the lines:

EXTRA BILLY SMITH.
HOW HE CAME BY HIS RINGU.
LAR sOBRIQpET.
dier-Enttring the Confederate
Army at the Age of So

WASHINGTON, Va, May 2l.-Ex-
Gov. William Smith, known as "Ex-
ira Billy" died at his home in this
town on Thursday. If his life had
been spared until September 9th, he
would have completed the ninctieth
year Of his age. For three score and
ten years he has been very promi-
nently identified with State and ma
tional politics, and excelled as a de-
batter upon the hastings. He was
twice Governor of his native State,
his second term covering the notable
last years of the civil war. At the
age of sixty-thr,e he entered the
Confederate army and distinguished
himself for his sublime daring on the
battlefield. He was badly wounded
at Sharpsburg, and afterward made
bTigadier general, achieving for him
self and his brigade great distinction.
Gov. Smith was born in King
George county. At the age of
fourteen he was sent to Plainfeld
Conn, to commence his academic
career, but was ordered home year
later in consequence of his expressed
wish to secure a position in the Fed
eral navy. He subsequently attended
classical schools in Virginia. His
legal studies were prosecuted at
Fredericksburg and Warrenton, Va,
and finished in the office of Gen.
Winder, of Baltimore, Md. In 1918,
when he was twenty one years old, he
settled at Culpepper and began legal
practice. At the same time he eager
ly entered the political arena as a
vigorous and favorite exponent OF
Democratic doctrine. He was firm
believer in strict construction, fru-
gality in public expenditure and hon
esty in the public servant. During
eighteen years he took active part in
all political campaigns without being
a candidate for any public position
La 1880, against his own wishes, he
was elected a member of the State
Senate for four years. He was re-
elected for another four years term,

Accident To Janauschek.

Nine. Janauschek the actress, met
with most serious accident at the
Perry House at late hour Friday at
Fall River, Mass. Mr.. James Car
der, member OF the company, re-
ported that he was suffering from a
severe attack of rheumatism aud was
unable to continue his work lie,
however, came with the company
here. After the performance Friday
night the actress called at his room
to see him, and give him her full per-
mission to leave the company and 20
to the Boston City Hospital, where
his wife, also member OF the com
pany, as the troupe was to be in this
section Of New England, could call
and see him. Upon leaving Mr.. and
Mrs. Carder she walked in the
direction Of her own apartments, but
by mistake she went to the head of a
private stairway, the door to which
was wide open, and fell headlong to
the floor below. Her manager, Mr., A.
FL. Stuart, who was in his room,
heard a loud noise, but presuming
that it was some one moving furni-
ture, he paid no attention to it.
Five minutes later a bell boy called
him and said that the actress wanted
to see him. He at once proceeded
to her room, but the boy told him
she was down stairs. He descended
the stairs and found the lady in the
arms OF the landlord and boy. She
said: Stuart, Stuart, look at my
poor arm" She was taken to her
room aud a natural bone setter"
was called. The doctor found her
right arm at the wrist broken, the
ligaments of her right ankle spraiu-
ed, the right side of her head cut
badly, and her entire body covered
with bruises. The fractured arm
was quickly set, The lady's nervous
system also received a painful shock,
and she was unable to sleep before
the middle of the day. Nine. ia
nauschek and the members Of the
company who we're called or who
heard the commOtion and left their
rooms, stated that the halls were
not lighted, while, on the other
hand, the landlord and several of his
employees state that the gas was
burning, although it was turned
down. The stairs are most uniortun-
ately situated. They almost meet
the front staircase. The landlord
keerly feels the unfortunate acct
dent and has done all that lay in his
power to make the actress comfort
able. She is more anxious about the
welfare of her company than she is
for herself. There are seventeen
persons in the troupe. W. II. Falls,
the advance agent, has been recalled.
All dates made for two weeks have
been cancelled. Nine. Janauschek
hopes to play Meg Merrilies," with
her arm in a sling, in two weeks, at
Chelsea, Mass. The company was
to appear in New Bedford tonight
and at North Attleborough tomor-
row evening, and at both places "all
seats" the agents wired, had been
sold. The salaries of the company
amount to 500. a week. The net
profits of late have been about $3.50
a night. The company had dates up
to the end Of the season, which was
set at July 18th. Members of the
company and many of the society la
dies have been unremitting in their
attention to the sufferer, and she is
deeply affected at their sympathy and
good wishes. AT late hour tonight |
she was resting quietly, and her at
tendants predict that she will be able
to sleep.
